@trianglekitty: one of the first things we should do is determine where the time is being spent. Could you send me a cc debug log as described in this FAQ? Please erase the multipie.co.uk address. If could be that the problem is on your device, and if so then other solutions/work arounds might be called for.

CC will not see books dropped onto the device in ways other than one of its connection methods, so our first solution attempts should be to use one of those.

Have you tried using the calibre content server? Does it have the same performance problems?
Do you have a "cloud" account with a provider that CC supports? If so, copy your library to the cloud and then use CC's cloud connection to get them onto your device.
Copy your library to an SD card then use CC's "Local library" connection (found in the cloud connection setup) to get the books onto your device.

All of the above will let you later use CC's wireless device connection to manage the library. However, I am concerned that the performance problems will also raise their head in this case. CC & calibre do a lot of things with metadata whenever CC connects. If handling metadata is triggering the slowdown then it will probably happen on every connect.

Another thought: if as you say the time is being spent processing metadata, it could be caused by a critical space shortage on your device. How much space is free in main memory?
